Transient Security Administration

The failures of TSA keep mounting up. Now it's reported that the security breach at the Newark airport over the weekend was caused by an officer who left his post unattended.

Security video shows the officer walking away from his post about four minutes after he asked an unidentified man to stay behind the rope line. Moments later, the man ducks under the rope and walks the wrong way through security to greet a woman, prompting a security breach that shut down Terminal C for hours and forced the rescreening of thousands of passengers.

Cameras don't work, procedures are not known and employees won't or can't do their jobs. We're not in good hands.
